This patch itself will soon stop mattering once the group of
rebase-in-c topics graduate, which hopefully will happen during this
cycle.  However, because the same mistakes are inherited to
builtin/rebase.c by these topics, we'd need a matching fix to
correct 07664161 ("builtin rebase: error out on incompatible
option/mode combinations", 2018-08-08) and either squash the fix
into that commit, or queue it on top of pk/rebase-in-c-5-test topic.

Will queue; thanks.

Here is what I'd queue, too.

Subject: [PATCH] rebase: fix typos in error messages

The separator between words in a multi-word option name is a dash,
not an underscore.

Inspired by a matching change by Ralf Thielow for the scripted
version of "git rebase".
